Walz: We don’t need to run government like a business, because we’re not in the profit-making business. We’re in the business of improving lives and looking toward the future.

And second, this guy has a proven track record of being an absolute failure.

The bottom line, in my humble opinion, is that the results of this election show that Poilievre has polarized this country. The NDP and Greens suffered huge losses as the center and left were too threatened to vote for what they believed but voted defensively. Cons support was due to misinformation.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

Just a quick tally before they back the truck up there, and then exchange it all for their bitcoin scam ... American Treasury is about to be syphoned off ... oh well, nothing left to lose?

Former Alberta premier Ralph Klein used to say,”it’s easy to lead. Just find a parade and get in front of it.” Unfortunately, PP seems to have misunderstood this because the parade has turned off and gone a different way behind him.

Dear J. D. Vance,
Canada was there to support Ukraine while your boss ingratiated himself with Putin.
I know you have friends in the Canadian Conservative party but don't mistake their spinelessness for how other Canadians will react in defending our sovereignty.
